4/5/2010 Cubs @ Braves

[chemikel]

Among the players drafted before Heyward that year...Josh Vitters.

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

Smart move by Cox to pinch hit in the bottom of the eighth, up ten. Veeeery <i>shrewd</i>.

Bah. By that logic, James Russell is the greatest reliever in the history of the universe. It's one game - a game in which the Braves rocked Carlos Zambrano. They were obviously clicking.

Well this is his first game(didn't have those last September) in front of a sold out major league crowd, and he's nowhere close to the zone with horrible stuff. Knew that was going to happen with at least a couple of our young guys, know matter how good they looked in the minors or Spring Training even. I'd say it's a concern. We need at least one more proven veteran arm. You can't count on all these kids.

Of course it's a concern. But what I'm saying: it was a concern long before today.

Fair enough.

[Giff]

16 runs on 12 hits [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img] [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shakehead.gif[/img]

[VanSlawAndCottoCheese]

On the other hand, Marshall faced 8 batters, fanning 5 of 'em.

[chemikel]

Wagner? For realz?

[chemikel]

I guess I assumed Heyward would pitch the 9th. He has a 600 MPH fastball.

[Coach]

Atleast this can only count as 1 loss

[Coach]

PS its embarrassing how much the Braves announcers have to promote their ticket sales.

[Clapp]

Jesus, they're really saying how bad Soriano looks? Can we go by the guy's career rather than a spring he was at 80% and 1 game?

[chemikel]

Cubs better show the fuck up Wed. I'm not driving 4 hours to watch them lose.

[jeffy]

See you guys next year.
